"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us....And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." - Marianne Williamson. Fear of failure, fear of the past and fear of the unknown can hold us back from becoming our best selves. Change is hard and loss is even harder. Our thoughts and feelings can sometimes be so overwhelming that it seems hard to move forward in life.
As a helping hand, I assist adults and couples who feel burdened by the challenges of life to discover and build upon their inner strength. I specialize in goal-oriented motivational enhancement therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to assist those struggling with stress, anxiety, depression and other conflicting emotions.
Once you are ready to make the first step, please feel free to call or e-mail to set up an appointment. I look forward to accompanying you on your journey of self-exploration and growth towards your self identified goals.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness and Motivational Interviewing in my practice. I always tell my clients therapy gets worse before it gets better because we will be really looking at what brought you into therapy. I also say you are the driver of this car and I'm just the bumpers to make sure we don't go off the road.
